SEOUL\u2014The third case of the Zika virus was detected in South Korea on Friday from a man having traveled to the Philippines, the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) said.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old man, who had made a trip to the Southeast Asian country for five days through April 14, was tested positive for the mosquito-borne virus.<\/p>\n

The virus was detected from his saliva and urine, but he didn’t show any symptoms of the virus such as rash and muscle pain. So, he was not classified as a confirmed patient, according to the KCDC.<\/p>\n

The man’s 20-year-old brother, the second Zika case who had traveled to the Philippines together with the man, was classified as a confirmed patient on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The younger brother developed symptoms of flu from April 20 and started to show rash in his body on April 22. He was discharged from a hospital on Thursday as he recovered from the viral disease.<\/p>\n

The first South Korean Zika case was found from a 43-year-old man on March 22.<\/p>\n

Zika is a virus that is primarily spread by mosquito bites, particularly risky for pregnant women as it is thought to be linked to a rare birth defect – microcephaly that causes newborn babies to have unusually small heads and damaged brains.<\/p>\n

The Zika virus is believed not to be spread by ordinary touches between humans, but it can be transmitted through sex and blood transfusion.<\/p>\n

Cases of sexual transmission from travelers to their sexual partners had been reported from the United States and Europe.<\/p>\n

The KCDC advised pregnant women not to travel to Zika-infected countries, while recommending fertile women delay pregnancy for at least two months after returning from those countries.<\/p>\n

Zika was first found in Africa and spread to Asia and Lain America. The virus is spreading rapidly in Latin America and in Asia.<\/p>\n
